FIG. 1A to FIG. 1H are schematic sectional views of various stages in a method of fabricating a package structure according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1A, a carrier 101 with a de-bonding layer 103 coated thereon is provided. The carrier 101 may be a glass carrier or any suitable carrier for carrying a semiconductor wafer or a reconstituted wafer used for the method of fabricating the package structure. In some embodiments, the de-bonding layer 103 may be a light-to-heat conversion (LTHC) release layer. In certain embodiments, a dielectric layer (not shown) may be further formed on the de-bonding layer 103. The dielectric layer may for example, be made of dielectric materials such as benzocyclobutene (“BCB”), polybenzoxazole (“PBO”), or any other suitable polymer-based dielectric material. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer may be omitted.

As illustrated in FIG. 1A, a redistribution layer 105 is formed on the carrier 101 and over the de-bonding layer 103. The redistribution layer 105 has a first surface S1 and a second surface S2 opposite to the first surface S1. The redistribution layer 105 is formed such that the second surface S2 faces the de-bonding layer 103, whereas the first surface S1 faces away from the de-bonding layer 103. In some embodiments, the redistribution layer 105 includes a plurality of dielectric layers 105A and a plurality of conductive layers 105B stacked alternately. In certain embodiments, the dielectric layers 105A may be made of non-organic or organic dielectric materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, silicon oxynitride, polyimide, benzocyclobutene (BCB), or the like. The conductive layers 105B may be made of copper, aluminum, nickel, or other suitable conductive materials. However, the materials of the dielectric layers 105A and the conductive layers 105B are not limited thereto, and this may be adjusted based on product requirement.

Referring to FIG. 1B, a bridge structure 108 is disposed on the first surface S1 of the redistribution layer 105. The bridge structure 108 may for example, includes a silicon bridge 108A and a plurality of conductive posts 108B connected to the silicon bridge 108A. In some embodiments, the bridge structure 108 is disposed on the redistribution layer 105 through a die attach film (not shown). In some embodiments, the bridge structure 108 may be used for providing short inter-connection between semiconductor dies that is provided thereafter.

Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 1B, a plurality of through insulator vias 107B is formed and surrounds the bridge structure 108. In some embodiments, the through insulator vias 107B are through integrated fan-out (“InFO”) vias. In some embodiments, the formation of the through insulator vias 107B includes forming a mask pattern (not shown) with openings, then forming a metallic material (not shown) filling up the openings by electroplating or deposition, and removing the mask pattern to form the through insulator vias 107B on the redistribution layer 105. In certain embodiments, a seed layer 107A may be formed before forming the mask pattern and filling the metallic material, and the seed layer 107A is located between the bottoms of the through insulator vias 107B and the redistribution layer 105. The material of the seed layer 107A varies depending on the material of the later-formed through insulator vias 107B. In some embodiments, the material of the through insulator vias 107B may include copper or copper alloys. In certain embodiments, the through insulator vias 107B are copper pillars. In some embodiments, since the redistribution layer 105 is formed before the formation of the through insulator vias 107B, the seed layer 107A is formed on the redistribution layer 105 and between the bottoms of the through insulator vias 107B and the redistribution layer 105.

In the exemplary embodiment, the bridge structure 108 placed on the redistribution layer 105 may be arranged in an array, and when the bridge structure 108 are arranged in an array, the through insulator vias 107B may be classified into groups. The number of the bridge structure 108 may correspond to the number of groups of the through insulator vias 107B. In some embodiments, one or more of the bridge structure 108 may be placed on the redistribution layer 105 after the formation of the through insulator vias 107B. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. In some alternative embodiments, one or more of the bridge structure 108 may be placed on the redistribution layer 105 before the formation of the through insulator vias 107B.

Referring to FIG. 1C, in a subsequent step, an insulating material 110 is formed on the first surface S1 of the redistribution layer 105 to encapsulate the bridge structure 108, the through insulator vias 107B and the seed layer 107A. In some embodiments, the insulating material 110 is formed through, for example, a compression molding process, filling up the gaps between the bridge structure 108 and adjacent through insulator vias 107B. In certain embodiments, no underfill exist in the gaps between the bridge structure 108 and adjacent through insulator vias 107B. At this stage, the conductive posts 108B of the bridge structure 108 and the through insulator vias 107B are encapsulated and well protected by the insulating material 110. In other words, the conductive posts 108B and the through insulator vias 107B are not revealed from the insulating material 110. In some embodiments, the insulating material 110 includes epoxy resins or other suitable resins.

Referring to FIG. 1D, a thinning step is performed to form an insulating encapsulant 110′. In the exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the insulating material 106 is reduced until portions (107-TS) of the through insulator vias and portions (108-TS) of the bridge structure 108 are revealed. In certain embodiments, the insulating material 110 is ground or polished by a mechanical grinding process and/or a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process until the top surfaces 108-TS of the conductive posts 108B are revealed. In some embodiments, the through insulator vias 107B may be partially polished so that the top surfaces 107-TS of the through insulator vias 107B are levelled with the top surfaces 108-TS of the conductive posts 108B. The insulating material 110 is polished to form an insulating encapsulant 110′. In some embodiments, the top surfaces (110T/108-TS/107-TS) of the insulating encapsulant 110′, the conductive posts 108B and the through insulator vias 107B are coplanar and levelled with one another.

Referring to FIG. 1E, after the thinning process, a second redistribution layer 112 is formed on the insulating encapsulant 110′. The second redistribution layer 112 includes a plurality of dielectric layers 112A and a conductive layer 112B stacked alternately. Although only two dielectric layers 112A and one conductive layer 112B is illustrated, it should be noted that the disclosure is not limited thereto. In alternative embodiments, the number of dielectric layers 112A and conductive layers 112B may be adjusted based on product requirement. In some embodiments, the second redistribution layer 112 is electrically connected to the bridge structure 108, and electrically connected to the through insulator vias 107B by the conductive layer 112B. Furthermore, the uppermost dielectric layer 112A of the second redistribution layer 112 has openings that reveal the conductive layer 112B, which allows for further connection.

Referring to FIG. 1F, after forming the second redistribution layer 112, a first semiconductor die 114A and a second semiconductor die 114B are disposed onto the second redistribution layer 112 and a reflow process is performed to bond the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B to the second redistribution layer 112. In the exemplary embodiment, each of the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B includes a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate may be a bulk silicon substrate or a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, and further includes active components (e.g., transistors or the like) and optionally passive components (e.g., resistors, capacitors, inductors or the like) formed therein. Furthermore, each of the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B has an active surface AS and a backside surface BS opposite to the active surface AS. As shown in FIG. 1F, a plurality of conductive pillars 115A and a plurality of seed layers 115B are located on the active surface AS of the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B. The seed layer 115B is for example, located in between the conductive pillars 115A and the semiconductor substrate (of 114A/114B). In some embodiments, the formation of the conductive pillars 115A and the seed layers 115B includes forming a mask pattern (not shown) with openings, forming the seed layer in the opening, then forming a metallic material (not shown) filling up the openings by electroplating or deposition, and removing the mask pattern to form the conductive pillars 115A and the seed layers 115B. In addition, a plurality of conductive bumps 116 may be formed on the plurality of conductive pillars 115A for bonding and connection. In some embodiments, the seed layers 115B, the conductive pillars 115A and the conductive bumps 116 are pre-formed on the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B. In alternative embodiments, the conductive bumps 116 are formed on the conductive layer 112B of the second redistribution layer 112.

As shown in FIG. IF, the conductive bumps 116 on the active surface AS of the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B faces the second redistribution layer 112 during bonding. In other words, the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B may be disposed on the second redistribution layer 112 in a face-down manner. In some embodiments, the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B are electrically connected to the second redistribution layer 112 through flip-chip bonding. In certain embodiments, the conductive bumps 116 are electrically connected to the conductive layer 112B that is exposed by the openings of the dielectric layer 112A after the reflow process. In some embodiments, the material of the conductive pillars 115A may include copper, nickel, or other types of conductive materials. In some embodiments, the conductive bumps 116 may include tin-silver bumps, or other types of conductive bump materials.

Referring to FIG. 1G, in a next step, an underfill structure 117 may be optionally formed to fill the spaces in between the first semiconductor die 114A, the second semiconductor die 114B and the second redistribution layer 112. For example, the underfill structure 117 fills the spaces in between adjacent conductive pillars 115A and conductive bumps 116 of the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B. In some embodiments, the underfill structure 117 further covers the sidewalls of the conductive pillars 115A and the seed layer 115B. The underfill structure 117 may help protect the conductive pillars 115A and conductive bumps 116 against thermal or physical stresses. In the exemplary embodiment, the underfill structure 117 is made of polymeric materials or resin materials, and a heating step is performed to cure the polymeric/resin material to form the underfill structure 117. However, in some other embodiments, the underfill structure 117 may be omitted, and the conductive bumps 116 may be bonded onto the second redistribution layer 112 without the underfill structure 117.

Subsequently, a molding compound 118 may be formed to at least encapsulate the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B. In some embodiments, the molding compound 118 is formed to encapsulate the whole first semiconductor die 114A and the whole second semiconductor die 114B and cover the backside surfaces BS of the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B. In some embodiments, the molding compound 118 is over-molded so that the top surface of the molding compound 118 is higher than the backside surfaces BS of the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B. In certain embodiments, no further grinding is performed after forming the molding compound 118. In alternative embodiments, the molding compound 118 may be grinded to reveal the backside surfaces BS of the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B. Furthermore, a heat dissipation layer (not shown) may be optionally formed on the revealed backside surfaces BS. In some embodiments, the molding compound 118 is formed by a molding process, and for example, include polymers (such as epoxy resins, phenolic resins, silicon-containing resins, or other suitable resins), dielectric materials having low permittivity (Dk) and low loss tangent (Df) properties, or other suitable materials. In some embodiments, the molding compound 118 may further include inorganic filler or inorganic compound (e.g. silica, clay, and so on) which can be added therein to optimize coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the molding compound 118. The disclosure is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 1H, the structure shown in FIG. 1G is flipped (turned upside down) and attached to a tape (e.g., a dicing tape) so that the carrier 101 and the de-bonding layer 103 may be de-bonded from the redistribution layer 105. In some embodiments, the de-bonding layer 103 (e.g. LTHC release layer) is irradiated by UV laser such that the redistribution layer 105 can be separated from the carrier 101. Upon removal of the carrier 101 and the de-bonding layer 103, a second surface S2 of the redistribution layer 105 is revealed. In some embodiments, the second surface S2 of the redistribution layer 105 is patterned to form openings that reveal the conductive layer 105B, and a plurality of conductive pads 119 may be disposed within the openings. In some embodiments, the conductive pads 119 are for example, under-ball metallurgy (UBM) patterns used for ball mount. In certain embodiments, a plurality of conductive balls 120 is placed on the conductive pads 119 through a ball placement process. In certain embodiments, the conductive balls 120 are electrically connected to the through insulator vias 107B through the redistribution layer 105. Subsequently, a dicing process or singulation process may be performed to cut the whole wafer structure (cutting through the molding compound 118, the second redistribution layer 112, the insulating encapsulant 110′ and the redistribution layer 105) into a plurality of packages. In the exemplary embodiment, the dicing process is a wafer dicing process including mechanical blade sawing or laser cutting. After the dicing process, individual package structure 10 is obtained.

In the completed structure shown in FIG. 1H, the package structure 10 comprises the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B encapsulated by the molding compound 118. The bridge structure 108 is disposed on the molding compound 118 and electrically connecting the first semiconductor die 114A to the second semiconductor die 114B. The plurality of through insulator vias 107B is surrounding the bridge structure 108 and electrically connected to any one of the first semiconductor die 114A or the second semiconductor die 114B. The seed layers 107A are disposed on the plurality of through insulator vias 107B and located in between the through insulator vias 107B and the redistribution layer 105. The insulating encapsulant 110′ is encapsulating the bridge structure 108, the through insulator vias 107B and the seed layers 107A. The plurality of conductive bumps 116 is electrically connecting the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B to the bridge structure 108 and the plurality of through insulator vias 107B. The redistribution layer 105 is disposed on the insulating encapsulant 110′ and over the bridge structure 108, wherein the redistribution layer 105 is electrically connected to the plurality of through insulator vias 107B and the plurality of seed layers 107A. In addition, the second redistribution layer 112 is disposed in between the molding compound 118 and the insulating encapsulant 110′.

FIG. 2A to FIG. 2D are schematic sectional views of various stages in a method of fabricating a package structure according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The embodiment shown in FIG. 2A to FIG. 2D is similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A to FIG. 1H, hence the same reference numerals are used to refer to the same or like parts, and some of its description will not be repeated herein. The difference between the embodiment shown in FIG. 2A to FIG. 2D and the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A to FIG. 1H is that the second redistribution layer 112 is omitted. As shown in FIG. 2A, after the thinning step shown in FIG. 1D, a dielectric layer 111 is formed on the surface of the insulating encapsulant 110′. That is, the dielectric layer 111 is formed on the insulating encapsulant prior to the bonding of the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B. Subsequently, the dielectric layer 111 is patterned to form a plurality of openings OP that expose the portions (top surface 107-TS) of the plurality of through insulator vias 107B and the top surface 108-TS of the bridge structure 108 (conductive posts 108B) for connection.

In the next step as shown in FIG. 2B, the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B having the conductive pillars 115A and the conductive bumps 116 are disposed over the insulating encapsulant 110′ and fitted into the openings OP. In the illustrated embodiment, a reflow process is performed and the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B are attached and bonded to the plurality of through insulator vias 107B and the bridge structure 108 through the conductive bumps 116. The plurality of conductive bumps 116 is located within the plurality of openings OP and is electrically connected to the bridge structure 108 and the plurality of through insulator vias 107B. In other words, the plurality of conductive bumps 116 is in contact with the through insulator vias 107B, and in contact with the conductive posts 108B of the bridge structure 108 during bonding. Subsequently, referring to FIG. 2C, an underfill structure 117 may be optionally formed to fill the spaces in between the first semiconductor die 114A, the second semiconductor die 114B and the second redistribution layer 112. In some embodiments, a molding compound 118 may then be formed to encapsulate the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B, covering the backside surfaces BS of the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B. In some embodiments, the molding compound 118 is over-molded and is formed beyond the first semiconductor die 114A and the second semiconductor die 114B (i.e. the size or thickness the molding compound 118 is larger than the size or thickness of the first semiconductor die 114A, the whole second semiconductor die 114B).

Referring to FIG. 2D, the structure shown in FIG. 2C may be flipped, and the carrier 101 and the de-bonding layer 103 may be de-bonded from the redistribution layer 105. Upon removal of the carrier 101 and the de-bonding layer 103, a second surface S2 of the redistribution layer 105 is revealed. In some embodiments, the second surface S2 of the redistribution layer 105 is patterned to form openings that reveal the conductive layer 105B. A plurality of conductive pads 119 may then be disposed within the openings, and a plurality of conductive balls 120 is placed on the conductive pads 119. In the next step, a dicing process or singulation process may be performed to cut the whole wafer structure (cutting through the molding compound 118, the second redistribution layer 112, the insulating encapsulant 110′ and the redistribution layer 105) into a plurality of packages. After the dicing process, individual package structure 20 is obtained. In some embodiments, the obtained package structures 20 are turned upside down for further mounting or packaging. In the completed structure shown in FIG. 2D, the package structure 20 is similar to the package structure 10 shown in FIG. 1H. The difference being that the dielectric layer 111 is used in place of the second redistribution layer 112, and the conductive pillars 115A are connected to the through insulator vias 107B and the conductive posts 108B directly through the conductive bumps 116.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a package structure according to some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The package structure 30 shown in FIG. 3 is similar to the package structure 20 shown in FIG. 2D, the difference being that a plurality of interconnection structures 113 is used for connecting the conductive bumps 116 to the through insulator vias 107B and the conductive posts 108B. Referring to FIG. 3, after forming the dielectric layer 111 and patterning the dielectric layer 111 to form openings (step shown in FIG. 2A), a plurality of interconnection structures 113 are formed within the openings to provide connection. In other words, the interconnection structures 113 electrically connect the bridge structure 108 and the plurality of through insulator vias 107B to the plurality of conductive bumps 116. In some embodiments, the interconnection structures 113 includes a connection line 113A and a connection pad 113B. The connection line 113A is filled within the opening of the dielectric layer 111, and is connected to the through insulator vias 107B or the conductive posts 108B. The connection pad 113B is disposed on the dielectric layer 111 and electrically connected to the connection line 113A, while the conductive bumps 116 are electrically connected to the through insulator vias 107B and the conductive posts 108B through the connection line 113A and connection pad 113B.

According to the above embodiments, a redistribution layer, a bridge structure and through insulator vias are formed/disposed on a carrier prior to the bonding of the semiconductor dies. Since the redistribution layer, the bridge structure and through insulator vias are formed first, the connection points for the conductive bumps may be readily controlled. As such, a misalignment issue of the semiconductor dies may be resolved, and the conductive bumps may be arranged with a fine pitch. Overall, a package structure with controllable wafer warpage and better electrical performance can be achieved. In addition, the described method requires less molding/grinding and photolithography processes as compared to the conventional method, hence a cost of fabricating the package structure may be reduced.

In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a package structure including a first semiconductor die, a second semiconductor die, a molding compound, a bridge structure, a plurality of through insulator vias, an insulating encapsulant, a plurality of conductive bumps, a redistribution layer, and a plurality of seed layers is provided.
